Gotta get up. Gotta keep moving. This map - it says I have to cross over here. Wait, what's that…?
And so begins a graphic novel story unlike any other: 49 Days. In Buddhist tradition, a person must travel for forty-nine days after they die, before they can fully cross over.

Agnes Lee has captivated readers across the world for years with her illustrations for the New York Times Metropolitan Diary. Her debut graphic novel is an unforgettable story of death, grief, love, and how we keep moving forward.
"A deeply moving exploration of life after death, making peace with regret and life's inevitabilities, and learning how to move on."
